Christian, I never mentioned throwing in the towel either. I just said that due to the crappy manua interface of the *ist, I would not purchase one. The *ist D seems to have two dials much like the PZ-1p. I can live with that. Since none of my lenses are older than A, I will be fine. Cost will be an issue.
As to being a Pentax user, medium format is my main focus. Pentax is fine for me at the moment. Bruce Friday, June 6, 2003, 5:02:11 AM, you wrote: CS> I'm still not ready to throw in the towel.
